In the coffee shop, after seeing that figure running away, Mu Yijie suddenly let go of the figure in his arms, took a small step back, and whispered, "Sorry."
Han Jinyu smiled indifferently and said generously, "It's okay. Next time if my ex-boyfriend shows up again, could you please help me block him?"
The running figure kept echoing in Mu Yijie's mind. He replied absent - mindedly, "Sure."
Han Jinyu poked his arm and whispered, "I find that you really like to be in a daze. Am I so unattractive that you can't even concentrate?"
Hearing Han Jinyu's words, Mu Yijie came back to his senses, smiled apologetically, and propped his forehead helplessly. "Do you know? Since she showed up, she has taken away all my attention. I always can't help thinking if she is feeling bad? Did I hurt her heart?"
"But this stage is inevitable. Only if you harden your heart can she give up," Han Jinyu said point - blank, looking as if she was doing all this for their own good.
"I know. I'll try my best," Mu Yijie took a deep breath, his face full of exhaustion.
After that, the two went to watch a movie. Mu Yijie didn't get distracted again. After the movie, they went home separately.
When Mu Yijie drove back home, he saw several workers bustling around the front door of the house.
He frowned and stepped forward. "What's going on?"
The butler wiped the sweat off his forehead anxiously, stole a glance at him, and said hesitantly, "Miss Yong Shanling came back today... She was in a bad mood. This door isn't very sturdy... so it broke. Oh, right. Miss Yong said she was going out to play for a few days and would come back later. She asked me to tell you."
Although the butler put it euphemistically, Mu Yijie still understood that the door was broken by Yong Shanling. As for going out to play for a few days, it should be a runaway from home!
Hearing that she was leaving, an unprecedented anger and fear swept over his heart. His face suddenly darkened. "You don't need to cover for her. She's becoming more and more willful."
After saying that, he strode forward and stormed back into his study.
Watching his back, the butler shook his head helplessly. "These two people. They clearly care about each other so much. Why do they have to hurt each other?"
Mu Yijie sat alone on the chair, pressing his head tightly with both hands. He couldn't help letting out a growl in the room.
When he looked up, he saw the book that Yong Shanling had left on the table. He averted his gaze irritably and saw her favorite figurine on the cabinet not far away.
Only then did he realize that their lives had unknowingly merged with each other. They were already intertwined.
He hesitated. Was this really good for each other? Then the next second, the words of her master echoed in his mind again. She deserved a better future, and he couldn't hold her back.
He strengthened his resolve again. The painful look on his face gradually disappeared, and his eyes were full of determination.
"I'm right. I'm doing this for your own good."
On the other side, at Li Zhuo's house.
Hou Hua and Li Zhuo were sitting on the sofa, passionately kissing. They were about to take the next step when they were completely carried away.
Suddenly, a loud wail came. Before they could react, Li Zhuo's girlfriend disappeared.
"Who is it?" Li Zhuo was completely stunned and roared loudly.
It was only later that he found his girlfriend being held in the arms of a cute little girl.
That person was none other than Yong Shanling.
Hou Hua nervously straightened her clothes. Looking at the little girl who was crying as if the sky was falling, she was both angry and headache - ridden.
Finally, she could only hug this extremely sad girl and comfort her in a low voice, "What's wrong? Didn't you go to make up with your uncle? Why are you crying and coming to me again?"
Yong Shanling was crying so loudly that she didn't even bother to answer.
Hou Hua was extremely helpless. She just gave Li Zhuo a look, signaling him to leave first.
Li Zhuo knew that he couldn't sleep with his girlfriend today, so he went back to his room alone. His back looked so pitiful. He would still cast a resentful look at the woman hugging his girlfriend from time to time.
"Okay, okay. Stop crying. Tell me exactly what happened. If someone bullied you, I'll go and avenge you."
"You don't know. Mu Yijie actually has another woman outside. I haven't even agreed to break up with him yet," Yong Shanling blew her nose hard, completely losing her usual fairy - like appearance.
"Oh, then why didn't you go up and beat this cheating couple up?" Hou Hua stopped the hand that was holding the banana and suddenly widened her eyes. She didn't expect that the so - called 24 - filial piety good boyfriend would also cheat.
"I... I didn't dare. What if it's just a misunderstanding? I don't want to really break up," Yong Shanling bit her lip and said weakly.
At this moment, where was the look of her slaying monsters bravely? She was just an ordinary little woman.
Hearing Yong Shanling's words, Hou Hua frowned tightly. She couldn't help sitting up straight and looking at her. "But since you're so sure that he's having an affair, why are you deceiving yourself by saying it's a misunderstanding? Haven't you noticed that you've changed?"
Yong Shanling stopped blowing her nose and looked up blankly. Had she changed? She couldn't remember what she was like at the beginning.
Once upon a time, her carefree and innocent look seemed like it was just yesterday.
"But he misunderstood me before, thinking that my feelings for him were not pure. Now that he has another girl he likes and really breaks up with me, what should I do?" Yong Shanling broke down and cried loudly. This was her first relationship, and everyone had a special feeling for their first love.
Moreover, before this, she rarely established a long - term and intimate relationship with others. Mu Yijie was her first and most unforgettable one.
"But did you do anything wrong before? No. When looking for a partner, one should look for the most outstanding and strongest one. You got together with him because of his excellence and his additional advantages. That was originally his strength. How can this be your fault? Don't be influenced by his thoughts," Hou Hua put her arm around Yong Shanling's shoulder and told her firmly.
"If he really gets together with another woman, then you should be glad that you've recognized his true face early and don't have to be tied to him for a lifetime. You know, a cultivator's life is too long. A thousand - year - long torture would drive anyone crazy," Hou Hua applauded herself in her heart. She thought she had said something really incisive.
But this was also what she really thought in her heart.
"Think carefully. Do you really love him? Are you so in love with him that you can't live without him? Will you die if you leave him? Are you willing to give up your dreams for him?"
